Representative Dingell continued his support of President Obama’s administration to give encouragement and support to the Tibetan people aspiring for Freedom, Democracy, Peace, and Justice in the occupied Land of Tibet.

I respect the democratic institutions and traditions of the United States. To defend Freedom, and Democracy, and to secure Peace, and Justice in the occupied Land of Tibet, I had voluntarily served in a military organization known in India as Special Frontier Force, or Establishment Number. 22. It represents a military alliance/pact between the United States, India, and Tibet. Unfortunately, this reputable military organization remains under the shroud of secrecy, a legacy of the Cold War Era. My belief in Democracy and my commitment to defend human rights is associated with unconditional adherence to the principles of transparency and accountability in governance.

Whole Dude-Whole Representative: Harry S Truman, 33rd President of the US(1949-1952) had formulated the US foreign policy during the Cold War era. He created the North Atlantic Treaty Organization during 1949 to contain the threat of Communism using military force. Representative John Dingell supported the initiatives of US administration to combat the threat of Communism.

Whole Dude-Whole Representative: President Dwight David Eisenhower, 34th President of the US(1953-1961) continued Truman administration’s policy of containing Communism. During 1957, President Eisenhower took the initiative to fund the Tibetan Resistance Movement to contain the military threat posed by Communist China’s military occupation of Tibet since 1950. Representative John Dingell and the US Congress had supported the President in helping Tibetan people.

Whole Dude-Whole Representative: John Fitzgerald Kennedy,35th President of the US(1961-1963) continued the US administration’s support for the Tibetan Resistance Movement and formulated a military alliance/pact between the United States, India, and Tibet that established a military organization known as Establishment Number. 22( which was also named Special Frontier Force) during November 1962. The funding for this multi-million dollar military organization was provided by the US Congress and the elected representatives of the US people. Representative John Dingell has the unique distinction of extending this support since 1957.

This military organization is known in India as Special Frontier Force still exists now because of the support and encouragement given by the people of the United States and because of the actions taken by their elected representatives. Representative John Dingell of Michigan must be thanked for giving his support and encouragement to the people of Tibet in their struggle against oppression by Communist China. I want to sincerely thank the people of Michigan for electing John Dingell as their Representative for 29 consecutive terms since 1955.
